Ingredients
Apple Mixture
- 1 apple, finely diced, skin on
- ΒΌ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 tablespoon firmly packed brown sugar
Crust & Garnish
- 3 cinnamon graham cracker squares, finely crumbled
- Optional: whipped topping
- Optional: dash of ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Apple Mixture: Mix the finely diced apple with brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl until the apples are evenly coated with the spices and sugar.
- Dissolve Cornstarch: In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water until it forms a smooth, lump-free mixture, then add this to the apple mixture and stir well to combine.
- Cook Apple Mixture: Microwave the mixture for one minute, then remove and stir well. Microwave again for another minute until the mixture thickens to a gooey consistency, resembling cooked pie filling.
- Layer Shots: Spoon about one tablespoon of the cooked apple mixture into the bottom of each shot glass, then sprinkle a layer of crumbled cinnamon graham crackers on top. Repeat with another tablespoon of the apple mixture, followed by more graham cracker crumbs.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish each shot with a small squirt of whipped topping and a light dash of ground cinnamon before serving for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Nutrition values are provided per one shot serving.
- For best texture, use fresh, crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- These shots are best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
- Use microwave-safe bowls for heating the apple mixture.
- Whipped topping is optional but adds a creamy balance to the tart apple filling.
